Hi tmiask12,
The scenario you are describing sounds like you are seeing a blank Output Viewer window and blank Data Editor window. Is there also a splash screen indicating that your IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0 product is not licensed?
As the usage of Mac OS Catalina and installations of SPSS ramp up over the exam period we have started to encounter one or two licensing and other complications occurring when installing SPSS 26 on Apple’s newest Mac OS. 1 Responsible: spssLauncher 69926 User ID: 501 Date/Time: 2020-07-12 18:09:59.924 -0400 OS Version: Mac OS X 10.15.5 (19F101) Report Version: 12 Bridge OS Version: 4.5 (17P5300) Anonymous UUID: D73BE916-44B3-7DB7-27DB-ED6B6CBB2D58 Sleep/Wake UUID: CE6FBECC-D6EF-4B50-89E9-A443527A34A8 Time Awake Since Boot: 750000 seconds Time Since Wake. Download IBM SPSS 25 MacOSX Full Version is a statistical software used by various groups of business organizations. Such as governments, companies, research research institutions and also educational institutions. If you have used this SPSS 25 software for Mac, you should have already understand the functions and features.
For macOS Catalina or prior macOS versions, simply double-click the.PKG file to start the installation. NOTES: If SPSS Statistics 26 is not installed in the default folder, uninstall it before proceeding (make sure you have a backup of the lservrc file first as mentioned above).
It has happened for some users in the past where a working version of SPSS Statistics needs to be re-licensed after upgrading the macOS underneath it. To re-license your product, run the 'SPSS Statistics License Authorization Wizard.app' you'll find just above the 'SPSSStatistics.app' in your 'Applications ->IBM->SPSS->Statistics->26' menu path.
If re-licensing the product fails to work for you, please go to the IBM Support site and open a Support case so they can help you troubleshoot the problem.
